   This picture shows a magnified view of the edge of the

larger of the two notched bifaces from the Olive Branch

Neralich cache. This style of narrow and parallel pressure

flaking is usually associated with Early Archaic stone tool

manufacturing. The longest flake scar in this picture

measures almost one inch (2.5 cm) long.
